From:
Emma Wedgwood; Emma Darwin
To:
Patrick Matthew
Date:
21 Nov [1863]
Source of text:
National Library of Scotland (Acc.10963)
Summary:

CD is too ill to write.

As for natural selection, he is more faithful to PM’s "own original child" than PM is himself. To illustrate, CD relates the metaphor of an architect selecting well-shaped stones and rejecting ill-shaped ones. [See Variation 2: 431.]
